Produce of the Month

The produce of the month for April is an Aussie icon, the banana. Bananas are not only sweet and delicious but are rich in antioxidants which help to fight off free radicals. Bananas are a good source of potassium which helps to promote healthy blood pressure.

A less commonly known fact about bananas is that they are a good source of vitamin B6 which is needed to make red blood cells. Bananas are also a source of vitamin C which helps promote optimal immune system function as well as is needed to make the protein collagen. Collagen helps to keep your skin looking youthful as well as your ligaments and tendons strong.

100g banana will give you approximately 2.6g of dietary fiber. This supports the health of your gut as well as feeds the health promoting microbes in your gut which help to look after almost every part of your body.

This fruit is perfectly packaged to enjoy as it is or for a balanced meal why not try Corn Thins slices with 100% nut butter and sliced banana on top. This combination is perfect and a must try.
